The royal baby bounced back on the radar this week with the low-key christening of Prince George. Life & Style has all the info, pics and video - check out the official photographs here.
My favourite blog this week is Modern Musings which takes a look at long-distance love. They weigh up the pros and cons - share your thoughts on that over here.
And this week I was lucky enough to sample a couple of the country's best - first the best bartender, charming Adam Neil, from Britomart's Racket and Orleans wowed judges and took out the Beam Bar Legend contest. Then a Canterbury butcher cooked up the best ham in the land with his sugar-cured, old-fashion leg ham. I wasn't able to get down there, but I I did visit an Auckland butcher that took out the top spot for the best boneless ham.
